Information on DVD recording (cont'd)

Restrictions on recording

You cannot record copy-protected materials using
this unit. Copy-protected material includes DVD-
Video discs and some satellite broadcasts.
If copy-protected material is encountered during a
recording, recording will be paused or stop automat-
ically and an error message will be displayed
onscreen.
Material that is "copy-once only" can only be
recorded using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with
CPRM (see below).
When recording a TV broadcast or through an
external input, you can display copy control informa-
tion on screen.
What is "CPRM"?
This is a format used to record copy-once pro-
grams. By recording coded data on the area of
DVD discs that ordinary writing software can-
not write, it prevents copy-once programs from
being recorded repeatedly on different media.
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means
that you can record copy-once broadcast pro-
grams, but then you cannot make a copy of
those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be
made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR
mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played
back on DVD players that are compatible with
CPRM.
